    I have two Monitors, one a 16:10 Monitor with a PPI of 90.05, and a 4:3 Monitor with a PPI of 58.18. Due to this, applications appear bigger on the 4:3 monitor. How can I correct this?

    Degree of pixellation on 808 PureView screen?

    Well. compared to the iPhone and most Androids yes, you'll notice screen pixellation as they compare like this:



    Pureview 808: 360 x 640 pixels, 4.0 inches (~184 ppi pixel density)

    Galaxy SII: 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density)

    Lumia 900: 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density)

    Lumia 800: 480 x 800 pixels, 3.7 inches (~252 ppi pixel density)

    Galaxy SIII: 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (~306 ppi pixel density)

    iPhone 4S: 640 x 960 pixels , 3.5 inches (~330 ppi pixel density)



    However, on a day to day basis it probably won't be all that noticeable unless you also use a higher res device alongside the PureView. However, where the PureView and Lumias excel is not their resolution, but their screen tech - AMOLED with Nokia CBD,
    which recently beat the SII and iPhone 4S hands down for outscreen readability, as well as leading to it having far richer and vibrant colour to the screen than the rivals.

    Lumia 950 XL with 518 Pixels per *square* inch?

    Can you share a link to or a screenshot of where you're seeing this? I checked the US, Canada, and Dutch stores and only see "ppi", which means pixels per inch. I don't see where you see it per square inch.

  4. How to fix PPI (Pixels Per Inch) imbalance between two monitors?

    Print Screen resolution 28 rather than 72 ppi

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    I am using a PC with a Dell screen

    • Were there any changes/updates to your device prior to the issue happening?
    Only automatic ones associated with Windows 10

    • Any troubleshooting steps you've done so far?
    Nothing

    Edit to say - Sorry, I've resolved my own problem. I was reading pixels per centimetre rather than pixels per inch - when the correct measurement is used my screen turns out to be 72 pixels per inch as usual.

    Apologies for bothering you but thanks for trying to help.
